The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode. ■
Welcome illumination of the analog speedometer●
When the driver’s door is opened, th e analog speedometer will illuminate.
Then, when the driver’s door is closed, the analog spee dometer will illuminate and go
off (pulsate) 3 times. ●
In the following situations, the analog sp eedometer will not pulsate even though the
driver’s door is opened and closed:
• Within 60 seconds after the an alog meter pulsation completes
• Within 60 seconds of turning the engine switch off ■
Variable red zone
■
Eco driving meter ●
The number of blue segments displayed on the eco driving meter decreases/increases
depending on the vehicle acceleration. Use th is meter as a guideline when you wish to
drive in an eco-friendly manner that reduces fuel consumption.
However, on a downward grade where the ve hicle can accelerate without the acceler-
ator pedal being depressed, the eco driv ing meter may not display the eco-driving
state correctly. ●
When the shift lever is moved to P, N or R, the segments will turn gray and the eco driv-
ing meter will not operate.To help protect the engine, the engine speed is
controlled by starting the red zone of the
tachometer at different engine speeds ranging
from 3700 rpm to 7300 rpm depending on the
engine coolant temperature.
Before driving under extremely high load condi-
tions, make sure to su fficiently warm up the
engine.

to the instrument panel brightness levels will be applied to both settings at once. ■
Dimming the analog speedometer lighting
The analog speedometer lighting will be dimm ed when the ambient light is bright, such
as during the daytime, and SPORT S or SPORT S+ mode is selected.■
Outside temperature display ●
In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be displayed, or the
display may take longer than normal to change.
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 12 mph [20 km/h])
• When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit of a
garage, tunnel, etc.) ●
When “  ” or “E” is displayed, the sy stem may be malfunctioning.
Take your vehicle to your Lexus dealer. ■

be temporarily displayed on the multi-information display.●
Some pop-up displays can be set on/off. (  P. 129)■

NOTICE ■
To prevent damage to the engine and its components●
Do not let the indicator of the tachometer enter the red zone, as it represents the

In the following situations, th e engine may be overheating. In this case, immediately
stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely.
